Vonage has reportedly reached a deal with Earthlink today to resell wireless internet services in cities like New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Milpitas, California where Earthlink has Wi-Fi networks.
Vonage will bundle the internet service with their VoIP offering and support a “next generation Vonage Wi-Fi phone,” according to the press release. This deal might seem detrimental to EarthLink’s own VoIP service. However, an EarthLink executive said Sunday night that it’s “part of the company’s DNA” to sell wholesale network services to any provider who wants access, and to compete on price, support and services at the application layer.
